My host has helped me to install a switch. However, I don't know how to configure using the command line. Could anyone help me?
I need to be able to connect to my Cisco switch using Cisco Network Assistant. If you know the command sequence,
I'm trying to learn about network. I bought Cisco 2950 for testing. I set it up and finding out the way to cap its ports at 20Mbps or 50Mbps. Do you know what command or how to do this?
Also what command to check the port speed or to uncap the port?
I'm trying to learn setting up MRTG for my Cisco 2950. Can you please give me some guide or instruction? My server runs CentOS and cPanel.

View 11 Replies View RelatedWe are currently showing a bunch of our server as half duplex on the nic when performing the command "ethtool eth0". The switches are all set to full duplex on our network.
Every single port has duplex full and speed 100. We can't seem to figure out why specific servers are showing half duplex and some are showing full. Can anybody give any insight on this issue and perhaps where to look? I am stumped at this point.

Anyone know anything about cisco pix 501s? i need help setting one up if anyone can give me a hand.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI just got a Cisco PIX 501 from my IT Guy for home use and he didn't reset the firewall to default settings so there are ton of old commands in here.
Is there a command I can use to reset the firewall back to the factory default settings?
Or is there anyway I can flash it back to factory default settings?
I am interested to buy a Cisco ASA firewall. So far I have never played with this gears and I wonder if it is easy to setup.
Is there any software provided by Cisco to setup rules and ACL thru some graphic interface software ?
We are looking to replace our existing WatchGuard Firebox's with a hopefully more reliable firewall from Cisco's range although I'm a bit lost when it comes to the different ranges.
Could somebody suggest a firewall that is capable of:
1: Both NAT & Drop-in (bridge) mode
2: Pretty low bandwidth requirements, no more than 10mbit/s traffic
3: SNMP Monitoring
4: High availability pairing
I am on a tight budget for a Cisco firewall. I am browsing and seeing some affordable options in the x600 series.
Please tell me, which series is best?:
1600
2600
3600
The higher the better?..
Also what about submodels, like is 1650 better than 1600?
And how can I tell how much DRAM each one can take up to?
I see a lot of DDos related articles here at WHT. We've got hit multiple times by DDos and had to handle those attacks everytime with a different approach.
The largest one and the most well know one (we were in Times Mag, AP news, CNN, slashdot, you name it - just do a search about us on WHT) was Russian botnet cyberattack - we had to anaylyze netflow and then block everything on our edge routers, then on the firewall and then locally on the servers.
Since then we had number of other attacks, some of them we were not able to defend on the server level, while, as you can understand we can't do netwflow and manual intervention evey time somebody gets an attach.
We have very good scripts which allow to mitigate huge number of DDos attack, whet our scripts are finding attacking IPs and blocking them automatically - still some attacks could be blocked only on the router level.
I've read that Cisco Guard (I am interesed in 65xx version of it) suppose to mitigate DDos attacks in automatic mode.
after months of disruption moving servers into a new data centre, our once reliable colocation company has now had nearly 6 hours downtime in the last 16 hours. So much for network redundancy.

What is the difference between the Cisco PIX and Cisco ASA Firewall Systems?
Also which firewall do you guys recommend for a rack of servers
I am currently looking at these Cisco switches:
- Cisco 2924 WS-C2924-XL-EN Enterprise Switch
- Cisco 2950 WS-C2950-24 Catalyst Switch
- Cisco 3512 WS-C3512-XL-EN Enterprise Switch
- Cisco 3524 WS-C3524-XL-EN Enterprise Switch
- Cisco 3548 WS-C3548-XL-EN Enterprise Switch
1) I was recommended to chose the XL-EN model switches because it seems they have more Memory, but the second one in the list (Catalyst) is not a XL-EN, is that going to have any affect performance wise? or it doesn't really matter?
2) I was also recommended to choose managed switches because that way I can use the SNMP features to measure bandwidth, are any of the switches above unmanaged?
3) I also want to be able to manage the switch remotely, web managed, are any of the switches above web-manageable?
4) Most importantly, when my datacenter give me a 100mbit drop, I dont know which port to plug it in in the 29** series. In the 35** I see it clearly but I am not able to see it in the 29**, any ideas?
5) On some of these switches I see a special port called "Console", what is it? where does that connect to?
6) Do any of the switches above not have a console port?
My network currently looks like this :
ISP ->> L3 Switch ->> Firewall (Transparent Mode) ->> Switch ->> Servers
I have a single /24 and my firewall is on x.2 and routes traffic for each of the servers.
Now i have a new Cisco ASA 5510 that i want to replace the aging firewall currently in place, however i dont want to put the firewall into transparent mode because i dont want to lose all the functionality.
Now with most firewalls your outside subnet cannot be the same as your inside subnet, which is fine if you are using NAT but i dont want to NAT. I need all of my servers to remain with their public ip addresses.
So what is the ideal way to setup something like this? Request my ISP give me a /30 for the ASA outside interface or something? And then ask them to route my /24 through the /30 new subnet?
whether I can grant a specific vlan priority over all other traffic..and if so does anyone know an appropriate site where I can find documentation on how to do so?

View 3 Replies View RelatedFrom the posts in this forum it would appear that a number of forumites are colocation service providers and web hosters that use Cisco gear.
I was reviewing the Cisco End User License Agreement that was included in the router box. Under the General Limitations section, "Customer shall have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to:", item (iv) states, "use or permit the Software to be used to perform services for third parties, whether on a service bureau basis or time sharing basis or otherwise, without the express written authorization of Cisco".
Does this mean that a service provider is required to acquire
a separate license similar to the Microsoft Service provider license?
I have a cisco 2960G switch that I used for colocation, the colocation provider does all the routing all I need is this switch. It's just a plug and play operation, however I now need to do some more difficult stuff.
So, I plugged their bandwidth uplink into port 20.
I have really no idea on how to setup anything other than the basic of the switch.
Is it possible to setup Private Vlans in this situation? I am in need of a setup like this:
All port 1-19 in private vlans, but still able to communicate with port 20 to get internet access. Port 1-19 cannot communicate with each other except by going through port 20, through the internet.
I also want to know if it's possible to statically assign each port with a specific IP? Just say I want all traffic to a static ip to only go to port 1? Is that possible? I want to be able to limit the control of IPs through the switch not through the server.
Right now all my IPs are assign on the server level, meaning the server can take each other IPs and mess with each other connections.

My understanding is that the IOS software running in most of their products is non-transferable. So clearly this prevents a user from receiving updates if they purchase used hardware (i.e. ebay). However, isn't it possible to purchase an IOS software license from Cisco for any of their supported product?
Their web site is a mess! I've spent, literally, hours on their site trying to figure out how to purchase such a license, or how to purchase a service plan that might entitle me to IOS updates.
And how does "SMARTnet" fit into this puzzle? Do I need a SMARTnet contract to download maintenance updates, even for *new* hardware that I've purchased?
